WEBVTT AND PART-TIME JOBS. RICK: NEW ALBANY HAS HAD A ROUGH YEAR WITH THE PILLSBURY PLANT ANNOUNCING IT IS LAYING OFF NEARLY 500 WORKERS. TONIGHT, MARK VANDERHOFF SPEAKS WITH THE 3 CANDIDATES FOR MAYOR WITH THEIR IDEAS ON HOW TO REVITALIZE THE CITY. THIS YEAR'S MAYORAL RACE IN NEW ALBANY IS ABOUT THE FUTURE GROWTH OF THIS SOUTHERN INDIANA CITY, AND THE INCUMBENT, JEFF GAHAN, SAYS AMENITIES LIKE THIS NEW PARK ARE WHAT IS GOING TO BRING MORE PEOPLE TO THE AREA. HIS TWO OPPONENTS DISAGREE. WE HAVE DONE A LOT OF REALLY COOL THINGS IN THE LAST FOR -- 4 YEARS. NEW ALBANY MAYOR JEFF GAHAN TOUTS THE NEW SILVER SPRING PARK AND NEW ALBANY AQUATIC CENTER AS HE RUNS FOR RE-ELECTION. REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE KEVIN ZURSCHMIEDE LIKES PARKS. BUT I DON'T THINK BUILDING AN AQUATIC CENTER IS AN INCENTIVE FOR A BUSINESS TO LOCATE HERE. ZURSCHMIEDE AND INDEPENDENT ROGER BAYLOR ARE CHALLENGING GAHAN. ZURSCHMIEDE, A REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER, SAYS MORE PEOPLE WOULD RENOVATE THE CITY'S HISTORIC HOUSES IF THE CITY INVESTED MORE IN PUBLIC SAFETY AND CODE ENFORCEMENT. I THINK IF WE IMPROVE THE CLEANLINESS AND ENFORCE OUR CODES AND LAWS IN OUR CITY I THINK NEW ALBANY IS GOING TO BE A PLACE PEOPLE ARE DRIVEN TO. BAYLOR IS CO-OWNER OF THE NEW ALBANIAN BREWING COMPANY. HE SAYS THE CITY'S SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS ARE THE KEY TO GROWTH. RATHER THAN TRADITIONAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT METHODS OF THROWING ABATEMENTS AND INCENTIVES AND SUBSIDIES AT OUTSIDERS AND HOPING TO LURE SOMEONE HERE, WE HAVE PEOPLE HERE WHO ARE CREATING THOSE JOBS ALREADY. LIKE ZURSCHMIEDE, BAYLOR IS CRITICAL OF THE $19 MILLION BOND USED TO FUND THE PARK PROJECTS. I THINK THE CURRENT LEADERSHIP HAS BEEN ADEPT AT SPENDING MONEY TO CREATE BRIGHT SHINY OBJECTS. GAHAN STANDS BY THEM AND SAYS HE'S BALANCED THE BUDGET AND IMPROVED THE CITY'S CREDIT RATING. WE CAN'T LOSE SIGHT OF THE FACT THAT WE ARE 200-YEARS-OLD. AND SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE WE FORGOT THAT WE NEED TO INVEST IN OUR COMMUNITY. WE NEED TO KEEP THAT INVESTMENT UP. ZURSCHMIEDE, THE REPUBLICAN, IS HOPEFUL THAT THE INDEPENDENT BAYLOR WILL PULL VOTES AWAY FROM GAHAN, A DEMOCRAT. GAHAN SAYS HE'S NOT TRYING TO THINK IN THOSE TERMS, HE'S JUST FOCUSED ON HIS CAMPAIGN. WE'LL FIND OUT TUESDAY HOW THE PEOPLE VOTE. IN NEW ALBANY, MARK VANDERHOFF, WLKY NEWS. RICK: EARLY VOTING CONTINUES AT SELECT SITES IN FLOYD COUNTY
